THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG "CANADA FIRS1." } (Continued from Page 1.) was less cultivated than the village yokel; for while one knew his place, the other didn't. With his pocketbook he bought adulation at home and abroad, with the result that he never saw anything better than himself; consequently the spirit of emulation and aspiration perished in him. The aristocries of the old land hold up something sattalnable wll through generations of self-denial. The plutocracy of Vulgariug bears on its escutcheon "Ne plus Ultra," which being interpreted means, "nothing more beyond the pocketbook." The United States in her worship of the Almighty Dollar consented to the canonization of Vulgarius. Canada, playing the sedulous ape, had done likewise. A Canadian general at the foreign watering place, listening to Vul- garius talking to citizens of other lands on his doctrine df "Canada First," remarked: "His whole idea of Canada revolves itself into the terms Hicktown, first, last and nothing more. According to his idea, a rooster crowing in his own backyard is more important than the League of Nations. By Jove, if they call the likes of that a Canadian, I'm a Hottentot." Good taste and decency demands a certain reticence and restraint when we are speaking of our-own country in relation to others. In this particular, as Mrs. Malaprop says, "Comparison are odorous." For us to assert our priority as a nation is good probdf of the fact that we are a bymptious colony, with a juvenile swelled head. Priority. as' a nation is established by what we do, Yather than by what we say. Crowing over others merely exposes us to ridicule; there- fore, in relation to all other nations we can delete the Canada-first stuff, as unworthy of our British tradition. Turning from external affairs to the interior economy of the domin- lon, we come to the legitimate fleld for that slogan, "Canada First." A people sprawled out from sea to sea, over half a continent, find their greatest obstacle to a unity in their geographic elements of separa- 1 tion. The last general election in Canada was nbt so much the voice of a nation as it was the voice of opposing "sections and opposing classes, by virtue of which the dominion government has no strong mandate. from the peopld. Thus the general purpose is restrained by truculent minor- itles. 'Any party that comes to power, at this moment, on putting on the clothes of office, finds itself In a hobble skirt of JSectionalism, Many of our alleged political leaders have stil to learn that no man! is a good Canadian who is not a Canadian first, before any section or any class. The bee-hive is more important than the bee. portant than the individual. There are those who would place the country's good after their own petty interests, thus making the bee-hive secondary to the bee. Whatever happens to the individual is of little consequence so long as the nation itself shall prevail. This is the lesson we léarn in war and forget in peace. "Oh Lord, bless mamma and, papa. Bless us, and no morb, and send Such was the prayer of the Pirates of Penzance. Such, also, is the selfish prayer of many to-day. , "Oh Lord, bless us {arigiery, and to Hades with the rest of the domin- on." "Oh Lord, save the labor union, save them alone, and no one else." On one journal we read, "Maritime Rights," on another is inscribed, "A Square Deal for the West." Here, one announces himself, "The Farm- er's Friend." = Yonder, another proclaims, "I am the People's Friend." Beware of such unctious creatures lest they prove wolves in sheep's clothing, In corporate life, all groups must work harmoniously together to make the whole effective, v National greatness means the subordination of class to. national pur- pose. Our sound statesmen are not those who i the bema, shouts, "Farmers first," or "Labor first." Our sound statesmen are those whose silent, steady and consistent Canada Is 'more im- policy is "Canada First."

Swift, D.8.0. The function attracted a large number of ex-officers and other ranks. As the numeral indicates, the 2nd Battalion was one of the old historic units of the original Expeditionary Force; it was identified throughout Its four and a half years of experi- ence with the 1st Canadian Division, and its exploits contribute a glorious page to that splendid record of achievement enjoyed by the. 1st Canadian Infantry Brigade. Of its five commanding officers, one, the late Major-General Sir David Watson of Quebec, rose to the command of a division; two, Brigadier-General A. E. Swit, D.8.0., of Quebec, and Bri- sadieryGeneral R, P. Clark, CMG. » ictoria, B.C., were advanced to the leadership of brigades, while a Golonel Lorne T. McLaugh- iy of Bowmanville, Ont., had the distinction of being awarded, An ad- dition to .the senior : decoration of C.M.G., two bars to the Distinguish- ed Service Order. Of no less inter- est is the fact that two of Canada's Victoria Cross heroes, Sergeant Leo Clarke (Somme, 1916) and Major Okill Massey Learmonth (Hill 70, 1917) earned these honors while serving with the 2nd Battalion., Mobilized at Valcartier in August, 1914, this unit proceeded overseas in September of that year and reach- ed France with the first Canadian contingent in February, 1915. Its "bapteme de feu" was received at Bois Grenier, near Armentieres, Hut, as with other units of the 1st Di ion, the first test of its qualities came a few weeks later, at Ypres. Thrown into that desperate action near St. Julien, the 2nd Battalion displayed To-night at Steacy's In Call For Easter!
